January 4, Colts Corraled
The Jets rolled to the first postseason shutout in club history when they blanked Indianapolis, 41-0, in the AFC Wild Card Game. The 41-0 win tied the New York Giants (2002 NFC Championship vs. Minnesota) for the second-most points in a shutout victory in NFL history.
January 12, Silver, Black and Blue
The Jets visited Oakland for a playoff game for the second straight season, and for the second time went home empty. They took a 10-10 tie into their locker room at halftime, but the Raiders scored 20 unanswered points, keyed by a pair of Rich Gannon TD passes, for the 30-10 win.
June 25, Targeting D-Rob
The Jets traded two first-round draft choices (Nos. 13 and 22) and a conditional pick to Chicago for the Bears' fourth overall pick (April 25). The next day they used the high selection to take Kentucky DT Dewayne Robertson.
June 25, Joe's New Title
The Jets announced that Hall of Fame QB Joe Namath would serve as the club's ambassador-at-large.
August 2, Eastern Exposure
The Jets became New York's first pro football team to travel to Asia as they took on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the defending Super Bowl champions, in the American Bowl. The Bucs downed the Jets, 30-14, in the first season's first preseason game in the Tokyo Dome.
August 23, Chad's Calamity
QB Chad Pennington suffered a fracture/dislocation of his left wrist while scrambling out of the pocket during the annual preseason game against the New York Giants. He had surgery that night and was able to return to action 10 weeks after the operation in relief of Vinny Testaverde against the Eagles in Philadelphia (Oct. 26).
September 4, Thursday Kickoff
The Jets kicked off the NFL's regular season as well, opening the schedule with a 16-13 Thursday night loss to the Redskins at Washington.
December 20, 40 Years Of Stars
Green & White fans, after a season-long campaign to vote for their favorite players in the first four decades of Jets football, selected 28 players. The "NY-XL" team was honored at halftime of the 21-16 Saturday night loss to New England.
